Both bombers who carried out the Monday morning terrorist attacks in the 
Moscow subway were females, the Russian Security Service (FSB) said.

"Both explosions were carried out by female suicide bombers," the 
Russian Security Service's official statement said.

The Investigative Committee said that at least 35 people have died and 
another 33 were injured in the morning blasts.

A police source earlier said that an explosive device equivalent to 500 
grams to 2 kg of TNT was detonated in the Moscow Park Kultury station 
adding that the bomb was detonated at 100-120 centimeters in height, or 
at approximately chest level.

The source said that most of the victims of the blast were young people.

Two blasts in Moscow's subway stations Lubyanka and Park Kultury 
occurred during rush hour with an interval of 40 minutes, the first one 
at approximately 8:00 a.m. Moscow time (5:00 GMT).

Emergency services are working at the scene and investigations are still 
underway.
